Smothered is a British comedy television series, created by Monica Heisey and starring Danielle Vitalis, Jon Pointing and Aisling Bea.

Following a non-transmission pilot shot in London in September and October 2022 and directed by Luke Snellin, the project was announced as a Sky Comedy original series in October 2022, to be written by Monica Heisey and produced by Lauriel Martin for Roughcut based in part on the step-parenting experiences of Roughcut producer Emma Lawson. [3] In January 2023, it was announced that the six-part series was shooting predominantly in London with the comedy directing debut of George Belfield, with Jon Pointing and Danielle Vitalis confirmed in the cast in the lead roles, and a role in the cast for Aisling Bea.
